“Creative Director” or “Head of Creative”?
13-year career spanning both agency and brand side. I’m considering a role that would take me back in-house and wondering if I should ask about the title in negotiation. Does one or the other feel more appropriate / weighty for building and leading an internal creative team, managing agency partners, etc.

Hi, I have got an offer from Abzooba. Any inputs for wlb, job security would be really helpful.
Role: PM, 10 yrs

I hear that UST acquired this last year. TIA

I am not getting any response on my posts..I'm feeling depressed due to my bad luck. I have only 1 month noticeperiod left & had only 1 offer in hand with 40CTC. Right now my current salary is too low which is 27LPA with 14 yrs of exp and working as Data scientist. I am getting very few interview calls. Not able to decide whether to join that 40CTC or need to withdraw my resignation. The problem with current offer is job in another location with 3mnts wfh option.
Please pour your suggestions!!!

Any professional engineers turned professors here? What drove you to make that switch and did it work out how you thought it would?

My husband just received a job offer on an opportunity he is really excited about. It would be great for his career and they are giving the 15% jump in base he asked for, however they won’t share what the target bonus amount would be. It’s an executive director position, so I would assume it’s a decent target bonus, but without that in writing it could honestly be a gift basket at the end of the year. Is it a red flag for them to not share this? His total comp could be less at this new job…

Anyone have any killer quotes / resources / thoughts for framing the role of a creative brief to a client who has a tendency to get lost in details and soften language?

Hey y'all, kind of a two part question:
1. I enjoy the people management more than individual contributor stuff. What career paths do you see in our industry for people who are managing support engineering teams?
2. What certifications are valued today? Seems like being a AWS Cloud Practitioner is a good general one, but are there others that stand out?

I’m not naive or fresh out of law school, but I’m at a point where I’m saying to myself “Why can’t I have it all?” I’ve been offered a job for more pay and less hours and I keep thinking to myself, what’s the catch? I know people will say no promotion potential or that’s not how it works…but what if it could? What if you make yourself valuable by still setting your boundaries? Why would we resent someone who has that opportunity?
